Trewassa

Trewassa, Cornwall, is a small hamlet located in the civil parish of St Teath, in north Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) southwest of Camelford and is within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The name "Trewassa" is derived from the Cornish language, though the exact meaning is debated. It is believed to be a compound of "tre" (meaning farmstead or settlement) and a personal name or descriptive element, potentially related to water or a local topographical feature.

Trewassa primarily consists of scattered farms and dwellings. Its economy is largely agricultural, with some residents working in nearby towns and villages. Due to its rural location, Trewassa offers limited public transport and relies heavily on private vehicles.

The hamlet has close ties to the surrounding area, including the village of St Teath, where residents typically access local amenities such as the church, school, and village hall. The proximity to the coast and the wider Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty makes Trewassa a location popular with walkers and those seeking a quiet rural retreat.
